Corporate ethos continuously demands improvements and efficient in workplace. Infographics and data analysis technique are becoming increasing important for organisations regardless of their business activities. Availability of a large dataset imposes challenges to managers and requires them to be analytically competent. Knowledge of using the right techniques for analysing the data and reporting, are important in making decisions that result in improving business performance targets. Nevertheless, analysing the data requires skills of summarizing the data, presenting, and reporting. This Infographics: Data Analysis and Reporting Techniques training course is aimed to equip the delegates with necessary skills to analyse numerical data, reporting and using graphics to present the data.
This training will highlight:
- To provide delegates with both understanding and practical experience of a range more common to analytical techniques and representation methods for numerical data
- To give delegates the ability to recognize which types of analysis are best suited to particular types of problems
- To give delegates sufficient background and theoretical knowledge to be able to judge when an applied technique will likely lead to incorrect conclusions
- To provide delegates with a working vocabulary of analytical terms that will enable them to converse with people who are experts in the areas of data analysis, statistics and probability, and to be able to read and comprehend common textbooks and journal articles in this field
- To introduce some basic statistical methods
- To explore the use of Excel 2010 or 2013 for Data Analysis and the capabilities of the Data Analysis Tool
This Infographics: Data Analysis and Reporting Techniques training course aims to provide professionals and analysts’ across different sectors, the necessary tools required to analyse numerical data and practical capabilities needed to convert data into information via appropriate analysis. Participants will acquire skills important in presenting data using Infographics and able to communicate to others in the organisation.
